Problems with your charset?
Have you ever had to deal with crazy symbols when using special characters, like the Scandinavian Æ, Ø and Å?
Well, you can solve the problem in many ways, but one thing that works 99.9% of the time is to open your .html, .php og .whatever document in Notepad (the classical windows text editor) and make sure that your special characters are showed correctly. If not correct it.
Finally chose save as, check that the correct file name is retained, save it with correct file name ending, change “save as type” to “all files” and last but by far the most important, change the encoding from the standard ANSI to the almighty UTF-8. Save it and your done!
You can now continue to work with your project in your favorite editor. If you experience any difficulties with the charset again, just repeat the routine.
